Transmitter Battery Power
The LT transmitters are battery powered. The long-range LX trans-
mitter is powered by two C-cell alkaline batteries, and the short-
range LS transmitter is powered by one AA alkaline battery.
The transmitter battery icon at the bottom of the display screen con-
tinuously shows the status of the transmitter battery power using
progress bars that decrease as the battery power is used.
Transmitter Temperature
The transmitter temperature symbol at the bottom of the display
gives an indication of the temperature, with progress bars and an
up or down arrow. An up arrow indicates the temperature is in-
creasing; a down arrow indicates the temperature is decreasing. A
digital temperature reading can be viewed below the clock in place
of the pitch by holding in the trigger. The drill rig operator can view
the transmitter temperature by holding in the on/off button on the
remote display.

If the transmitter reaches 111°F (43°C), the transmitter temperature
symbol will change to indicate the transmitter has reached a dan-
gerous temperature—three curved lines will be seen extending from
the top of the thermometer, and the thermometer icon will appear
full, as shown in the figure to the right. When the transmitter’s
temperature reaches 118°F (48°C), the thermometer icon will flash
to indicate immediate action is required to cool the transmitter.
